My Dwight

We all have those annoying co-workers. They portray them well in the movies or on TV. Office Space with Milton and his red stapler. Or on the show The Office Dwight who thinks he's more important than anyone and who is just plain annoying.

Milton I could deal with. Sure he loves his red stapler a little too much, but well he's been wronged. But Dwight. I can't deal with. I know because I work with a Dwight...

The minute I see her waltz into my office I scream inside. So loud do I scream. Mostly because she just rambles inappropriate stories. or just lets me know how wrong I am about everything.

Inapporiate office decorum of my Dwight would include the following:
  • Discussing Pink Tacos
  • Di sussing the ramifications of Clitoral Piercings
  • Detailed description of tampon disposal in developing countries
  • Showing us scars on body parts.
  • Asking me if I'd had any hot dates with the guy who sexually harassed me
  • Volunteering for a project and than not doing what was asked.
  • Criticism of basically everything.
  • Redesigning a website to put their project on top thus making the website look like crap.
  • Sitting in on meetings one is not invited to.
  • Barging in on meetings and giving unwarranted comments.
  • Coming into my office, seeing my pile of work and commenting on how she has nothing to do.
  • Having a fit that her birthday was forgotten due to a big project, and when one tries to fix that complains about the party for her that was given.
  • And not doing any work....

The list really could go on. And I may add to it weekly. But that would be my Dwight. Oh the joy. She does make coming to work interesting. Oh and interesting it is....

I wonder if instead of baking her things in jello if I could bake her in jello........
